Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

• 
  Are you referring to the slide show option in the photo app?
  

I suggest you to follow the below steps for the slideshow option and check if it helps.

• 
  Open the “Photo App”
  
• 
  Go to any three options “Collection”, “Albums” and “Folders”.
  
• 
  Click on any “Photo” and press the key “F5” it will launch slide show.
  

Hope this information is helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

Is it possible to add photos to an album, then delete them from collections?

Hi jb1005

Please be careful . . .

In the Photos App you have 3 views - Collection, folders and Albums

Collection and folders are basically just a view of you files on your hard drive in the Pictures folder

Albums are a virtual structure, they do not physically exist, they are just stored as a list, so if you delete a file from collections or albums, you are deleting the only physical copy of that file
